The two common ways of allocating memory to an application are stack-based and heap-based memory allocation.
How does a Stack-Based Memory Allocation work? The stack works in a last-in/ first-out (LIFO) manner. The stack is a limited memory area that grows or shrinks as the function pushes or pops the variables.The stack memory is allocated and freed automatically.
How does a Heap-Based Memory Allocation work? Heap memory is allocated using functions. The heap is a memory region that is not managed automatically (unlike the stack).
